lmao at all the mexicans who took pride in the battle of Puebla at the cinco de mayo
The french army was weak as hell in the 19th century and they didn't even deploy all their might because of fear the USA would come and would break a very profitable alliance with them
You guys are so miserable you take pride in the most ridiculous achievement

The zouaves hadn't been defeated in 50 years m8, France had been kicking asses left and right from Algeria to Italy to Crimea. Zaragoza was a hero.

Also the mexicans who fought were criollos (ethnic spaniards). Just look the commanders, they didn't look like the average mexican mestizo.
